      Clottey but both looked like beaten fighters by the time the 6th round came around. This was Clottey's big break. His opportunity to seize the moment and make a name for himself and failed to do it. He kept holding back and I felt that he was just basically glad to be in the ring with Manny instead of wanting to win and take the belt. He showed no heart, no passion and no fight whatsoever.

      Mosley started off real good but couldn't figure what to do with Floyd once he connected. He seemed to be thrown off by Mayweather's speed, faints and counters. I don't understand why he kept going for the big punch but he at least showed glimpses of being a fighter.

        I wasn't disappointed by either fighter.

        They were simply overmatched by their opponents.

          I've grown weary of this "Mosely gassed" ****. He didn't gas, Floyd adjusted and neutralized his attack. If you're a student in the sport, you'd know that. After landing those two big overhand rights in the second, Mosely spent the rest of the bout attempting to duplicate those shots. Every time he did, he got countered. He was flat out confused, and couldn't figure Floyd out. Now he was tired in the 10th and 11th, but that's a given considering the beating he was taking. But he tried, he ever attempted to body Floyd a little bit.

          Clottey literally just showed up. He didn't exert any effort, and he sure as hell didn't try to win that fight. Crazy thing about is; He wasn't hurt, and when he swung he was landing solid shots. Overall, just a sad performance.

            Clottey is no where near the fighter that Shane Mosley is. Clottey did exactly what I expected him to do which was go into that little shell of his and try to get off a counter here and there...which he did...problem is Pacquiao was to fast, to quick, to much workrate for Clottey to ever even think of trying to mount and attack. A guy who fights in spurts an spends most of his time covering up waiting for his opponets to finish there attack and then mount and attack of his own is not going to work against a guy like Pacquiao who is to fast and is not going to be there to be hit. To this extent, I expected this. As Clottey is not a guy who is going to take a chance and try to throw combinations an open up (which if he did, he probably would have gotten Flaten). Never said Clottey was a good fighter; as he is a decent fighter, but against a style like Pacquiao's...he's looking ordinary everytime. So yes, I expect the fight to go exactly the way it did. SSM-Mayweather, I expected Mosley to give a better peformance then just the gun shy, jittery, easy to hit, guard down asking to be hit no purpose of what he was doing or wanting to do in that fight...basically resigning to the fact that he was a beaten man attitude, who wasn't even listen to any instructions Richardson was trying to give him... I never would have expected that from a proud fighter like Mosley...to just basically give up like that. I mean when your trainer has to tell you to repeat after him the things he's saying to make sure you have some idea of what's going on...you know the man is out of it...and to that degree like I said I would have never expected that from Shane.

              Clottey was dominated because the mixture of styles. Mosley was boxing well first two rounds and decided to ditch the gameplan. Mosley COULD HAVE done better. I don't think Clottey could have.

                Ditch the game plan? He spent the rest of the fight trying to land that overhand right.

                  Mosley, because he was slated to put up a fight and didn't carry out the plan he was supposed to. With Clottey, we all knew in advance that he wouldn't do **** except hold his earmuffs up the whole time.

                    Mosley was gassed after the 3rd round.



                    He looked and was flopping around like a fish by the end of the 4th round.

                      Mosley was very poor. Makes me think the fight was fixed.
